Live: Western Sydney Wanderers v Brisbane Roar

Richard Shute

FULLTIME: And that's it! The Western Sydney Wanderers are through to the grand final in their debut season. Goals from Kresinger and Ono seal the deal, with the latter being one of the all-time A-League goals.

Western Sydney dominated the midfield, but the bad news is one of their players of the season, Youssouf Hersi, picked up two deserved yellow cards and will miss the grand final.

Jerome Polenz also left the field before halftime, which could cause Popovic another right-sided headache next weekend.

Not much to take home for the Roar, they offered little today, but were unlucky to miss out on a penalty at the end of the first half that would have changed the complexion of the game. The Roar came to the party late this year, and will miss out on a shot at the biggest prize.

The Wanderers fans were unbelievable tonight, they consistently bring so much noise and colour. Great for the game.

We'll have 5 minutes of stoppage time. To be fair, the Roar could have 55 minutes and still lose this 2-0....

Shinji Ono is taken off to a standing ovation. Haliti comes on. Has there ever been a better goal at Parramatta Stadium than the one Ono lobbed in to close this game out?

And now Berisha picks up a yellow for dissent. He tried to get across the defender in the box to turn in a cross, and wanted a corner. Brisbane need a goal. Now.
